ICE. CARD.

Application fil ed March a, 1923. sem -no. 623,679.

My invention relates to a display card or sign and one of the objects of the invention is to provide an arrangement of printed matter on the card, Which can be used for the purpose of impartiiw differenttypes of information. One em odiment is that shown in the drawings in connection with an ice card. The principle involved in the arrangement of this printed matter on the card is such, that depending on the position of the word Ice the party delivering the ice, can tell at a distance how much'the consumerdesires delivered.

Fig. 1 is a view of an ice card 'made preterablyof stifi paper board. At each corner, an aperture may be provided for suspending the card in different positions. In each corner also, suitableindicia may be print'ed,;incheating the price of ditterent quantities of ice.

The Word Ice is Written in letters of different and graduated size so that the printed mass in this particular instance, is trapezoidal in shape. The appearance of the general mass at a distance is that of a block V. Depending entirely on whether the V is upright, upside down, or pointing to the right or the left, the iceman, knowing intimately the location of the price figures with respect thereto, can tell how much ice he is expected to'deliver.

The word .Ice can be similarly printed in red. By usingdifierent price marks on each side in the corners, the utility of the card is doubled by this expedient.

From the above description it Will be apparent that I have produced a device of the -character specified and which while particularlyadapted for use in connection With the sale of iceas the preferred form of the in vention, it will be understood that I reserve the right tov all changes properly falling within'the scope and spirit of the appended claims.

' Therefore what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

size to produce an unsymmetrical block efi'ect, a plurahty of other varying information imparting-items printed adjacent said;

printed thereon in lettersof different and graduated size to produce a block V efi'ect,

different price marks printed on the card above, below and to the right and leftof the said word and in smaller size type, the

said card adaptedto be supported in differ entreading positions in which the said block V will appear upright, inverted or pointing to the right or left.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
